25 “What the Lord has done for me will keep people from looking down on me.”
26 One month later God sent the angel Gabriel to the town of Nazareth in Galilee
27 with a message for a virgin named Mary. She was engaged to Joseph from the family of King David.
28 The angel greeted Mary and said, “You are truly blessed! The Lord is with you.”
29 Mary was confused by the angel's words and wondered what they meant.
30 Then the angel told Mary, “Don't be afraid! God is pleased with you,
31 and you will have a son. His name will be Jesus.
